I'm new to the duramax area, and just in the past few weeks realized they were now offering the Duramax diesel as an option. I will soon be buying another van for my electrical service company, to match my E-350 cut-away with an 11' Stahl body. I'm trying to weigh the options, buy another E-350 old enough to have the 7.3 P/S, with the higher miles/use it would have, or choke down the payments on a brand new duramax van.
I'd like to know what, if any problems any one has had with these vans since they have been out with the duramax in them. I've heard that the trans is not the allison, how do the the lesser ones handle the tork? I read the fuel mileage numbers, but it left me wondering, what size vans are you speaking of, and will your numbers compair to what I would need, a cut-away with covered utility body, dual rear wheels?
Thanks for your time, and I will look forward to your comments.
